For all who seek truth beyond church/bible dogma....A stark expose of the problems we humans have brought upon ourselves with the adoption of the Abrahamic male-monotheist separated 'God' and the abandonment of the more ancient and balanced animist/shamanist holistic knowledge.This book contrasts these two radically differing world views:The ancient world view of indigenous cultures in which everything is seen and felt as alive with soul and the male-monotheist world view which teaches that only humans have souls.- And proposes that it is time for a radical change in our world view:Our Earth is our Mother Goddess, all the plants, animals, insects, fish, birds are part of her, as are we. It is not 'our' planet, we share it. Without the other kingdoms we would not exist. We need to put our faith in an Infinite-Creator-God-Source-Force of Ultimate Love and Compassion. It will help greatly to give the Eternal Mother back her rightful place in the Trinity of Existence. This will help to restore balance between the forces of ying and yang.RELIGION vs. SPIRITUALITYBelief in One God vs. Trust In the Mystery of ExistenceGod Is Separate vs. God Is Everything EverywhereSet of Beliefs vs. Tools to Discover KnowledgeGod is good, devil is evil vs. Good/evil are two aspects of CreationBible is the word of God vs. Bible is the myths of menMasculine dominant vs. Feminine/masculine in balanceJesus - only Son of God vs. Jesus - mythological figure

PRINCIPLES OF SHAMANISM - LEO RUTHERFORD This updated edition of Principles of Shamanism (a.k.a. Shamanism Today) offers an introduction to shamanism, the oldest spiritual path of them all (at least 50,000 years). Shamanism is the oldest way in which humanity has sought connection with Creation. The origins of shamanism go back at least 40,000-50,000 years to Stone Age times. All of us have evolved from shamanic cultures, shamanism is not imported, it is our roots wherever we live. Anthropologists have studied shamanism in North, Central and South America, Africa, amongst the aboriginal people of Australasia, the Eskimo and Lapps of the far North, in Indonesia, Malaysia, Senegal, Patagonia, Siberia, Bali, Ancient Britain and across Europe, in Tibet where the path of Bon shamanism underlies Tibetan Buddhism - in places all over the world. I myself have learned from Inca and Shipibo of Peru, Lakota, Cherokee, Pueblo, Hopi and Ojibway of North America, and from apprentices of the Huichols of Mexico. All over the world there is evidence of shamanic practices from as far back as the palaeolithic period. From ancient cave drawings and similar records it seems that all indigenous peoples shared a similar cosmology, a similar understanding of how the universe works. Today shamanism survives on all inhabited continents in less ‘developed’ regions in spite of the relentless onslaught of Western scientific materialism, the treatment of the Earth and nature as something to be dominated and exploited, and dogmatic male-dominated religion. Now, as the unsustainable nature of Western civilization is becoming visible, more and more people of the industrial world are turning to the old cultures for help and guidance in finding a way back to a greater balance with nature, with Planet Earth, and with themselves. Shamanism is not a belief system. It is a path to knowledge which is gained through experience of many facets of life, through rituals, ceremonies, prayer and meditation, trials and tests. Knowledge is something that works, that stands up to tests and to the test of time, that is known from inside, unlike belief which is something taken on from outside, from others. Wars are fought over beliefs, dogma and doctrine, not over knowledge. Leo Rutherford is a trained psychotherapist with an M.A. in Holistic Psychology. He has studied with many shamanic teachers including Black Elk, and particularly Inca shaman Don Eduardo Calderon. He runs the Eagle’s Wing Centre for Contemporary Shamanism in Sussex, England (www.eagleswing.co.uk). Fully illustrated. Second edition.
